According to the Asthma and Allergies Foundation of America (AAFA), allergies strike 1 in 5 Americans—making them one of the country’s most common (yet frequently disregarded) diseases. With spring so close, it’s hard to not think about those numbers. However, with a little bit of dedication, allergies can be easier to overcome than you may think.

Art is a commitment. A good piece will often cost you—and after all, it’s not every day that you find one that you absolutely fall in love with. For this reason, it’s no shock that many walls sit empty for far longer than a home dweller may have intended.

The kitchen is arguably the most used room in the house. Whether it’s preparing a family meal or gathering the girls together for a glass of wine on the weekend, it’s without doubt that a lot of time is spent in the kitchen. Because of this, it’s imperative that the kitchen stays in tip-top organizational shape.

In our Lakeview Landing homes, guest rooms are often a point of interest, therefore, we’d like to share some tips on how you can make guests feel extra welcome with a comfy guest room. Whether you have a devoted room for guests or you clear out a room for their stay, eliminate as much clutter as you can so that guests have places to hang clothes (and make sure there are extra hangers), stow away shoes and put their jewelry for the night. A foldable luggage rack (like the ones you see in hotels) is extra-useful, too.

Humidity is the measure of moisture content of the air. When it is cold out, the air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air can. So, the colder it is outside, the drier the air is— both inside and outside. During the winter, you'll be using your furnace regularly. The furnace will heat the already dry winter air, making it possible for the air to hold moisture. That's when the warmed dry air inside begins to steal moisture from anything it can. Signs that your home has low humidity: dry, itchy skin, nosebleeds, coughing, houseplants drying out quickly, your hair standing on end due to static electricity.

After moving to a new home, that first trip to the grocery store can be a real eye opener. You may have had to discard most of the liquid items in your pantry since moving companies do not allow these in your packing boxes. You may have dumped many of your old spices and miscellaneous jars of out-of-date foodstuffs hidden in the back of your pantry and fridge before the move.
